Base class for SBML converters.This class of objects is defined by libSBML only and has no direct equivalent in terms of SBML components. It is a class used in the implementation of extra functionality provided by libSBML.
The SBMLConverter class is the base class for the various SBML converters: classes of objects that transform or convert SBML documents. These transformations can involve essentially anything that can be written algorithmically; examples include converting the units of measurement in a model, or converting from one Level+Version combination of SBML to another. Applications can also create their own converters by subclassing SBMLConverter and following the examples of the existing converters.
The use of all the converters follows a similar approach. First, one creates a ConversionProperties object and calls ConversionProperties::addOption() on this object with one arguments: a text string that identifies the desired converter. (The text string is specific to each converter; consult the documentation for a given converter to find out how it should be enabled.)
Next, for some converters, the caller can optionally set some converter-specific properties using additional calls to ConversionProperties::addOption(). Many converters provide the ability to configure their behavior to some extent; this is realized through the use of properties that offer different options. The default property values for each converter can be interrogated using the method SBMLConverter::getDefaultProperties() on the converter class in question .
Finally, the caller should invoke the method SBMLDocument::convert() with the ConversionProperties object as an argument.
The following code fragment illustrates an example using SBMLReactionConverter, which is invoked using the option string 'replaceReactions'
:
In the case of SBMLReactionConverter, there are no options to affect its behavior, so the next step is simply to invoke the converter on an SBMLDocument object. Continuing the example code:
Here is an example of using a converter that offers an option. The following code invokes SBMLStripPackageConverter to remove the SBML Level 3 Layout package from a model. It sets the name of the package to be removed by adding a value for the option named 'package'
defined by that converter:
LibSBML provides a number of built-in converters; by convention, their names end in Converter. The following are the built-in converters provided by libSBML 5.12.0 :

Perform the conversion.
This method causes the converter to do the actual conversion work, that is, to convert the SBMLDocument object set by SBMLConverter::setDocument() and with the configuration options set by SBMLConverter::setProperties().

Returns the default properties of this converter.
A given converter exposes one or more properties that can be adjusted in order to influence the behavior of the converter. This method returns the default property settings for this converter. It is meant to be called in order to discover all the settings for the converter object. The run-time properties of the converter object can be adjusted by using the method SBMLConverter::setProperties(ConversionProperties props).

new SBMLDocument libsbmlcs.SBMLConverter.getDocument | ( | ) |
Returns the SBML document that is the subject of the conversions.
string libsbmlcs.SBMLConverter.getName | ( | ) |
Returns the name of this converter.
|
virtual |
Returns the current properties in effect for this converter.
A given converter exposes one or more properties that can be adjusted in order to influence the behavior of the converter. This method returns the current properties for this converter; in other words, the settings in effect at this moment. To change the property values, you can use SBMLConverter::setProperties(ConversionProperties props).
|
virtual |
Returns the target SBML namespaces of the currently set properties.
SBML namespaces are used by libSBML to express the Level+Version of the SBML document (and, possibly, any SBML Level 3 packages in use). Some converters' behavior is affected by the SBML namespace configured in the converter. For example, in SBMLLevelVersionConverter (the converter for converting SBML documents from one Level+Version combination to another), the actions are fundamentally dependent on the SBML namespaces targeted.
null
if none are set.
|
virtual |
Returns true
if this converter matches the given properties.
Given a ConversionProperties object props
, this method checks that props
possesses an option value to enable this converter. If it does, this method returns true
.
props | the properties to match. |
true
if the properties props
would match the necessary properties for this type of converter, false
otherwise.
